Pie Is More Than A Good Dessert, It's A Good Book

(5 STARS) Pie, a ranch horse, suffers
from an external mid-life crisis where he is injured after a brief
encounter with a rowdy bull. Too damaged to continue his work, he is
“put out to pasture” where the second phase of his life begins, which is
surprisingly better than his first.

Pie is a multi-layered
memoir about second changes, perseverance, and the power of bonding.
Author Scaramuzzo has craftily managed to write an effective, feel-good
book despite highlighted tragedy throughout. Told entirely through the
point of view of Pie, this ordinary old brown horse shares his
optimistic outlooks, fears, and subtle humor, as though the reader had
stumbled upon his personal diary that he kept hidden at the back of his
stable. Along the way, he meets a cast of characters, both human and
animal, where they inspire and enlighten each other’s worlds.

This
is not only a remarkable story on its own, but any lover of animals who
understands the personal connection that is shared between pet and
owner will have a heightened appreciation as Scaramuzzo expertly focuses
on the importance of connections and interactions that both animal and
human inherently give to one another. Pie is a regenerative tale for
all ages.
